ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo study the characteristics in negative energy balance in different-aged patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) and come out with nursing countermeasures.Methods Twenty-four hour dietary data reviewing and the international physical activity questionnaire were used to investigate energy intake and consumption among 384 MS patients.The fat content,fat percentage and lean body mass were measured by the human body composition analyzer.Body mass index (BMI),waist/height,fat percentage,lean body mass,energy intake and energy consumption were compared between different ages and sexes.Results In the group aged over 51 years,the waist/height of female MS patients was significantly smaller than their male counterparts (P<0.05).For all groups of different ages,the percentage of fat in the female patients was significantly larger,their lean body mass was less(P<0.01), their intake of energy was significantly lower than that of the males (P<0.05).The intake of energy among the male patients at the group aged 21~30was significantly larger than the males of other age groups and so it was with the energy intake of the males aged 21-70 years as compared to the males aged 71~80 years (P<0.05).Conclusion Education on disease knowledge should be strengthened among healthy people so as to realize the negative energy balance based on the rate of waist/height,body composition,energy intake and energy consumption,which is of great significance for the prevention and control of metabolic syndromes.

(2) There were significant differences of vicarious traumatization of trauma helpers on professional training and experience of trauma help (P ＜ 0.05 ). ( 3 ) Comparing to helpers of non-vicarious traumatization, the helpers of vicarious traumatization were high in N scale questionnaire (P＜ 0.01 ). Conclusion Vicarious traumatization of trauma helpers are affected by sex, professional training and experience of trauma help. The best choice of trauma helper is steady emotion personality..
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The clinical manifestation of senile depression is not typical. The patients with senile depression seldom visit in general hospital, which is hard for clinical doctors to identify the disease at early time.OBJECTIVE: To research the traits of Coping style and social support in the recovered senile depressive patients.DESIGN: Case-control observation.SETTING: Department of Psychology in North China Coal Medical College.PARTICIPANTS: Ninety-six senile depressive patients at convalescent stage were selected for depressive group in clinic service of Beijing Anding Hospital from November 2004 to October 2005. Inclusion criteria: ①Aged≥60 years old. ② Coded with depression with DSM-Ⅳ. ③ Being the period of recovery, geriatric depression scale(GDS)≤10. ④Informed consent was obtained from each participant. Exclusion criteria: ① Depression resulted from other factors for instance substance abuse and schizophrenia,etc. ②Serious and instable body disease such as cerebrovascular disease,liver and kidney disease, falling sickness, disease of internal secretion. Totally 104 questionnaires were sent out, and 96 were qualified. 37 were male and 59 were female in the depressive group, aged 60-87 years old,with average of (68±6)years. The course of disease was 0.3-11 years, with mean of 2 years. The elderly from ordinary community of Beijing were invited for control group. Inclusion criteria: ①Aged ≥ 60 years old; ② No mental disease. ③ Informed consent was obtained from each participant.Exclusion criteria: The same to the depressive group. There are 100 participants in the control group, 44 were male and 56 were female, aged 60 to 84 years old, with average (67±5) years old.
